This is a choice native perennial groundcover for shaded sites.  It occurs naturally in rich woods from Canada to parts of North Carolina and Tennessee.  Foamflower was introduced into Britain in 1731; however, references to it being grown in American gardens did not appear before the nineteenth century.  Boston seedsman and garden writer, Joseph Breck recommended its use as an ornamental flower by the mid-1800's.  This plant is not attractive to deer.

Heartleaf Foamflower (Tiarella cordifolia) arrives in a 1 quart pot.
